I am not sure I will ever be a fan of Ebooks. There is just something about holding a book on my lap and relaxing on the couch. I know a person could do this with a laptop, but it is just not the same to me. I did notice that some of the ebook websites allow a person to print pages every-so-often. But I can't wait to print 25 pages every 10 days. So, this will never be an alternative to the novel for me.
I did notice that they had some resources from Century 21 on buying and selling homes. This seems like a lot better use of this tool: as a reference tool.
This is certainly a tool that I need to play around with more.
Just as I struggle with how to use audiobooks in my history class, I also struggle with how to use Ebooks. Ideas?

Possible eBook ideas for History class:
Have kids create their own. After showing them what "real" (i.e. commercial) eBooks look like, have them publish a mini-book. You could do this with a specific unit (e.g. Ancient China) or even with the medieval banquet character sketches. . . Just a thought.
What a COOL idea! Sounds like something my media specialist could help out with :)
